Brian Turner:
Playlist
from January 3, 2017

Order and disorder in a freeform haze of terribly-played guitars, shorted-out electronics, found audio detritus, strange sounds from strange lands all around. Psych-punk-junk, collage, even pop. Lots of in-studio live performances to boot.

Colour Out of Space festival broadcasts today, recorded in November in Brighton UK

Colour Out of Space Festival

November 18-20th

Live at the Sallis Benny Theater, Brighton UK

Tune in today for a smattering of recordings made in November during Brian's visit to the excellent Colour Out of Space International Festival of Experimental Sound and Art, which took place in the windswept seaside town of Brighton, England only a few blocks from the beach riot scene from Quadrophenia. Now in it's 7th year, the festival, produced and curated by Dylan Nyoukis, Karen Constance, Michael Sippings and Tim Wilton, has continually assembled a variety of leading lights in experimental music and visual art. This year's event also featured a panel on Sweden's Fylkingen label presided over by our own Fabio, and a discussion on freeform radio hosted by Wire Magazine editor Derek Walmsley which Fabio and Brian both participated in. Today, however, we'll be hearing some of the music, all recorded live at Brighton's Sallis Benney theater: gorgeous soundshaping from New Englander Matt Krefting, Australian sound/visual artist Matthew P. Hopkins, a claustrophobic collaboration between Schimpfluch-Gruppe veteran and Tochnit-Aleph label founder Daniel Lowenbruck with Brazilian-born visual artist Marcellvs L, plus a final head scratching set from the Clappy Shandy Dads (featuring Nyoukis with members of Hyperion Ensemble, Vibracathedral Orchestra, and Chastity Potato). Enormous thanks going out to our pal Ilia Rogatchevski for recording assist!

Krefting is a composer, performer, poet and writer based in Easthampton, Massachusetts. Krefting's deep-rooted chronology is seeded in the foundation of Apostasy Recordings and its numerous transitory groups. Over the past decade he’s played a pivotal role in some of the Northeastern’s most unwaveringly left-field groups - including art/action minimalists Son of Earth and avant-glam trio The Believers - released a beautifully ramshackle album of classic rock covers on Thurston Moore’s Ecstatic Peace, and gained an exultant reputation for his ongoing solo, tape based experiments with sound collage, guitar and voice. ‘Lymph Est’ is his gorgeous yet unsettling first album on Kye Records in which ‘treated voices, piano, samples and T.V. grabs are ushered into a series of soft-focus miniatures that are built to be razed in a perpetual cycle of triumph and defeat.’ Kreftings writing has been published by Glass Eye Books and Kendra Steiner Editions and The Wire.

Daniel Lowenbruck + Marcellvs L

Live At Colour Out Of Space 11/20/16

Löwenbrück is a German performance artist, composer of tape-music and visual-artist living in Berlin. He has been releasing music and performing internationally since the mid 90's as part of the Schimpfluch-Gruppe (with Rudolf Eb.er, Dave Phillips, Joke Lanz), as a duo with singer and performance artist Doreen Kutzke, as part of the Cabaret Performance-Group Ohne (with Tom Smith, Dave Phillips, Reto Mäder), and solo as Raionbashi and under his real name. Performances and festival appearances are numerous and include New York, Paris, Moscow, Minsk, London, Oslo, Stockholm, Helsinki, Tokyo and Vienna. Löwenbrück founded the label Tochnit Aleph in 1994 publishing records and editions of musique concrete, sound poetry, artist-records and noise music. Since 2008 he has curated the gallery and record shop Rumpsti Pumsti (Musik) in Berlin. Marcellvs L.’s radically narrative video and sound installations create a tangible, physical staging of time and slows it down by setting commonplace objects in a state of perpetual duration, which seems to detach them from reality. The physicality produced by the sound and rhythm of the films makes the videos into passages for the viewer; the films turn into spaces of transit for the confrontation of possibility. Marcellvs L. (b. 1980 Belo Horizonte, Brazil) lives and works between Berlin and Seyoisfjörour. He has participated in numerous biennials internationally, including the 16th Biennale of Sydney; 9th Lyon Biennale of Lyon; 27th São Paulo Biennial. Museum exhibitions include MAC – Musée d’art contemporain de Lyon; Helsinki Art Museum; Astrup Fearnley Museet, Oslo; ICA London; NBK – Neuer Berliner Kunstverein; Kunsthalle Wien; New Museum, New York; Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid; ZKM Museum of Contemporary Art, Karlsruhe; and Museum of Modern Art, São Paulo.

Matthew P. Hopkins

Live At Colour Out Of Space 11/8/16

Hopkins is a sound maker based in Melbourne, Australia. He’s distinguished himself as a master of multiple musical forms through collaborations that touch on improvised electronics, structured song, minimal synth and raw techno. Under his own name he produces a highly singular take on abstracted voice, feedback, field recordings and found sounds. With the release this year of ‘Blue-Lit Half Breath’ Hopkins has harnessed his deeply personal and paranoid vision into the ultimate beauty/horror object. He has released recordings through Penultimate Press (UK), Vittelli Records (UK), Alberts Basement (AU), Canti Magnetici (IT) and Thalamos (GR).
